As Jim says, RAW will enable you to rescue shaddow detail if you under expose, but at the expense of noise. If you have an overexposed area that has become burnt out, RAW will not help you. This is likely to happen on very bright days where the dynamic range of the sensor, at about 5 stops, is less than that of the scene you are trying to capture. This is where bracketing can save the day.

Bracketing usually requires you to press the shutter 3 times, unless you have the camera in drive mode. If you have it in drive mode, you can fire in bursts anyway which I would have thought is a more reliable way of recording multipule images to capture that magic shot (but I'm not really a bird photographer so what do I know
)

As Duncan says you can achieve exactly the same effect manually by adjusting the camera settings - but it takes longer.
